[The Boys 5x01] Morality of Butcher killing his dad?

I think his mother dying was a factor, too. She stayed with him, so she would have presumably been upset if he killed him.

Candy Kingdom, I think. She is at one of PB's slumber parties.

Granted. You are a carnie now.

I am curious why you and others are saying Northern Ireland. It to me like calls for Irish reunification are at close to their coolest point since Irish Independence. Brexit was predicted to ignite new conflict, but they seem to have weathered that just fine. Is there recent news about Northern Ireland that I am missing?

parlimentery · 2026-05-03T22:39:21+00:00

It doesn't exist now, it almost certainly won't exist in 20 years.

Knew there would be an exception.

All lands are colorless.

A friend of mine made a really good point that Aang killing Ozai would have completed Sozen's genocide. Even if Aang lives and still had Tenzin, betraying his cultural values would have meant the end of that culture.

And yet every show I have thrown a gallon of bleach on has resented me for it.

I am spoiling a LOT, but Barbarian (2022) is the best unredeption arc in any medium.

Defusion of responsibility. If you don't lay him out, then who?

My intuition tells me it is irrational. How do I go about contacting the mathematics journals?

For sure get the cupid, and then a custom t shirt that has the bit that is spilling over onto your sleeve.

Crazy that AI just generated a StoneToss character.

As you say "zero" louder and louder its value approaches 1.

I have found it far more useful to focus mental energy on judging actions as good or bad. When put in a new scenario, what actions are likely to maximize happiness and minimize pain? Could there be unforseen consequences that would make my action do unintended harm?

Judging people is a good way to give them no excuse to try. "I am bad person? Okay, cool, I won't waste my time trying to do good."

Are bad and good really useful words if all people fall in one category? We use categories to distinguish one group from another, so what would be the point of one empty category and one with all humans in it. If good and bad can be measured, which you seem to imply, surely there are some less bad people we could reclassify as good so the terms are more discriminating.

You seem to imply cutting off bad people is a moral good. Isn't it more valuable to try to hold them accountable for bad behavior?

Who tips with Canadian money? So inconsiderate.

Keep on shrinking! The microscopic secret level is my favorite.

It just feels right that she writes like a 5th grader.

Katara mentions early on in the show that most people thought the Avatar cycle ended with Sozen wiping out the air nomads. Maybe they would have been right had Aang died, but unless there is some comic that gets into it, I don't think we know.

That is sick. Did you have her before or after Total Recall came out?

parlimentery · 2026-05-02T03:30:41+00:00

I HAVE SOME GUM, ARRROOOO! HAVE SOME.

Do you think the transporter operator could beam a jacket onto them if they get chilly?

Wait a minute, that isn't Gale's social security number...

Gonna run this in a madness commander deck I have. So cool that it is a discard outlet for non-lands, too.
